Well, I'm not sure where you live, but if you live in the Midwest . . . enjoy the blizzard!

Holy tamole!

I'm looking out my window right now, and I can't see the neighbor's house across the street. Yep, I'm thinking we aren't going to be venturing out today.

Here are a few of the things on my "stuck in doors on a blizzard day" to-do list:
Finish up a few crayon ornaments.
Make a few audition crafts for the classroom holiday party with my kids.
Make a couple of capes for stocking stuffers.
Put a batch of chili in the crock pot for tonight's dinner.
Watch the Nutcracker ballet with my girls (on TV, of course).

What do you like to do on your "stuck inside all day" days?

May I suggest . . .
finishing up any on-line shopping you need to do.

I live in the Midwest....Ohio......never could understand why we are considered Midwest. We have had a cold week and snow everyday but nothing too bad. I think the storm you are having is moving this way but expected to fizzle alot. Fix that chili and check off those items on your list. I love Flamingo Toes....Bev is so creative.

I am in Wisconsin and we didn't get what was expected...yet! Here's hoping it doesn't come, but I have Christmas gifts to finish - felt food for my daughter! Cookies to make, oh, and I may start my own pot of chili for dinner! Thanks for the idea!

Kansas City only has rain. As much as I hate snow and winter - if it's going to be yucky outside, might as well be a blizzard! In other words, I'm jealous of all your snow when we've only got cold, yucky rain. :(

Enjoy your blizzard! We were supposed to get a big blizzard just before Thanksgiving -- BIG deal, closing schools early, sending employees home early, store shelves emptying. We got less than 1/4 inch of snow here. We had more leaves blow into our yard than snow! North of us got hit worse, but still not what it was anticipated to be. So I'm glad you're enjoying your blizzard because ours was lackluster. :)

blogging manners

I try to teach my kids good manners. I'm not sure how successful I've been though. But when I hear them say "please" or "thank you", I know my persistence is paying off. I try to use good manners on my blog too . . . giving credit where credit is due by linking back to projects or ideas from other crafty bloggers. I ask you to do the same. If, in some rare instance, you are inspired enough to blog about something I tried or use an idea you find here, please link back to me (if it's my idea) or the original blogger. Feel free to use my original ideas and tutorials for personal use only (gifts or self) not for profit!
